I am very glad, by the way, that Mr. Churchill

can spare time from thoughts on litigation to commend the appeal for funds now being made by Bristol University, of which he is Chancellor. Bristol is one of the youngest of the universities of Britain, and it is serving a large region in the West of England singularly well. On it, as on all other universities, great demands are being made, and a corre- sponding extension of buildings and equipment is essential. Its Chancellor is quite right in saying that the financing of that cannot be left entirely to the State. I am very glad to see that towards the desired L300,000 as much as £136,400 had been promised when the appeal was launched on Tuesday.
